How many rabbis preached on Shabbos about the need to import more refugees?

I’m not a fan.

The Best Jewish Christmas Syrian-Refugee Dinner Ever

By Rabbi Elliott Tepperman of Bnai Keshet, in Montclair, NJ

RElliott_091final

It only happened because good people kept saying we have to do something. When congregants at Bnai Keshet the Reconstructionist synagogue I serve asked, “What can we do to help Syrian Refugees,” I introduced them to each other and passed on emails from HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society). One congregant said, “We have to do something to oppose the current anti-Muslim rhetoric. Christmas is on a Friday this year. Let’s invite one of the mosques we have worked with over for a Friday night dinner of Chinese food.” I said yes and introduced her to the first congregant.

And then, because of their wonderful efforts I ended up in our sanctuary with about 50 people from 10 Syrian families and about 80 members of my synagogue and community. The room was packed and at every table American Jews and Syrian Refugees were smiling and trying to communicate. Everyone had name tags in English, Hebrew and Arabic and with very few words beyond each other’s names, extraordinary warmth and gratitude was expressed.

With the help of an interpreter, I prepared to share with them our own story of this strange night. I began to speak of my own grandfather who paid smugglers and ran across borders at the age of 14 to be reunited with his family. I told our guests that I saw reflections of our own stories in them. That if they were to ask almost any Jewish person they met, they would hear a story of a parent or grandparent who had fled danger to come to the US. That most had arrived penniless. As my own voice caught, I looked at the interpreter a first generation Syrian immigrant herself who had stopped speaking because she was crying. “She said I am sorry but I can’t help it.” As I looked out I saw a room full of watery eyes.

1000+ Rabbis Sign Letter In Support of Welcoming Refugees

The following letter, signed by more than 1000 American Rabbis, was delivered by HIAS to all members of Congress on December 2, 2015.

We, Rabbis from across the country, call on our elected officials to exercise moral leadership for the protection of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.

Since its founding, the United States has offered refuge and protection to the world’s most vulnerable. Time and time again, those refugees were Jews. Whether they were fleeing pogroms in Tzarist Russia, the horrors of the Holocaust or persecution in Soviet Russia or Iran, our relatives and friends found safety on these shores.

We are therefore alarmed to see so many politicians declaring their opposition to welcoming refugees.

Last month’s heartbreaking attacks in Paris and Beirut are being cited as reasons to deny entry to people who are themselves victims of terror. And in those comments, we, as Jewish leaders, see one of the darker moments of our history repeating itself.

In 1939, the United States refused to let the S.S. St. Louis dock in our country, sending over 900 Jewish refugees back to Europe, where many died in concentration camps. That moment was a stain on the history of our country – a tragic decision made in a political climate of deep fear, suspicion and antisemitism. The Washington Post released public opinion polling from the early 1940’s, showing that the majority of U.S. citizens did not want to welcome Jewish refugees to this country in those years.

In 1939, our country could not tell the difference between an actual enemy and the victims of an enemy. In 2015, let us not make the same mistake.

We therefore urge our elected officials to support refugee resettlement and to oppose any measures that would actually or effectively halt resettlement or prohibit or restrict funding for any groups of refugees.

As Rabbis, we take seriously the biblical mandate to “welcome the stranger.” We call on our elected officials to uphold the great legacy of a country that welcomes refugees.

‘White police-officer shot by black Muslim in the name of Islam’

muslim

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Authorities say a Philadelphia police officer is recovering after he was shot several times during an ambush late Thursday night in West Philadelphia.

Philadelphia police commissioner Richard Ross says the officer, identified as 33-year-old Jesse Hartnett, was sitting in his patrol car around 11:30 p.m. at 60th and Spruce Streets when a gunman fired nearly a dozen shots through the driver’s side of the car.

“Shots fired! I’m shot! I’m bleeding heavily!” Officer Hartnett was heard yelling on police radio.

Police are calling it an “attempted assassination.”

Sweet Exiles

Professor Albert S. Lindemann writes in his book Anti-Semitism Before the Holocaust: “In both the Italian and Hungarian cases, the relatively low levels of anti-Semitism in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries can be related to the perception of the non-Jewish population that their Jewish fellow citizens were useful to and supportive of them, not alien or destructive.”

Anti-Nazi Austen Chamberlain said: “A Jew may be a loyal Englishman…but he is intellectually apart from us and will never be purely and simply English.”

Mark Twain said: “The Jew is substantially a foreigner wherever he may be, and even the angelis dislike foreigners.”

WP: ‘Catfishing’ over love interest might have spurred U-Va. gang-rape debacle

Steve Sailer writes:

A lot of effort has been put into stuffing the UVA – Rolling Stone gang rape on broken glass hate hoax down the Memory Hole by making the scandal seem as boring and technical as imaginable: mistakes were made in following proper journalistic procedures. Nothing else to remember here, move along.

The key roadblock was to keep the words “catfishing” and “Haven Monahan” out of the public mind. If you understand how those two fit together, the story is hilarious: a super-girly girl, Jackie, catfishes a dream date “Haven Monahan” into digital existence to make a boy she likes, Ryan, jealous.

When that’s not working she makes up a story about Haven Monahan’s sexual assault. When that still doesn’t make Ryan fall in love with her, she switches back to having Haven send Ryan an email explaining why Ryan should fall in love with Jackie, cribbed from Dawson’s Creek and other romance shows for boy-crazy tween girls.

When that fails, Jackie slowly becomes aware over many months that if she can’t have Ryan, she can still have some of the attention she craves by portraying herself as a victim of campus rape culture. But of course she can’t call the police because she just made everything up. Dean Nicole Eramo recognizes that Jackie’s probably never going to talk to the police about her woozy story.

Eventually, Sabrina Rubin Erdely comes to town for Rolling Stone and between them they work up a doozy of a story. With publication, an actual Night of Broken Glass ensues with SJW vandals smashing the windows of the libeled fraternity house. Jackie then defends Dean Eramo when America’s feminists try to get the poor woman fired. It’s a complete fiasco, but nobody in the media seems to notice that Erdely’s article is absurd until Richard Bradley blogs about it five days later.

Comments:

* Jackie Coakley’s wedding photos.

* I hadn’t heard of her claims of terminal illness until this article came out.

She came very close to destroying a lot of lives with her lies.

She may not have intended to when she set out on this path, but she never tried to stop the juggernaut once it got moving.

She and Erdley deserve whatever public shaming they get, and more.

* Lawsuits create legal documents and sworn statements that reporters can use with fewer problems than when they simply quote people on the street. Court documents are also a one-stop shop for making a deadline. Thus, the lawsuits have a chance of returning this stupid story back to public awareness.

* To those watching at home: study how Steve has been careful and persistent with this, working the angles and pitching things so that more mainstream types can take cues from him and broaden the message. THIS is how it’s done. THIS is how to win people over in e.g. the migrant situation, among others.

* And yet the Post will still not print Coakley’s name, on the basis that they do not print the names of rape victims. This in a story that clearly indicates that she was NOT a rape victim at all, but rather just a liar. Is there also a policy against printing the name of liars?

Many of the commenters pointed this out and gave Coakley’s full name and as of last night (the last time I looked) the Post was allowing these comments thru. Maybe they feel that if they don’t have their fingerprints on it, it’s OK. The whole “not printing” thing is getting ridiculous in the internet age where this information almost always becomes public anyway.

Incidentally, I learned from the comments that (a) Jackie has gained a good 60 lbs. or more and (b) has gotten married! As Mr. T would say, ” I pity the fool” who married her. In the old days she would have pretended to be pregnant to ensnare the guy in her web but what did she do this time?

* From T. Rees Shapiro’s linked article (emphasis added):

Duffin wrote: “So if I can just ask a question, then … Why did you tell us before the date ever happened that his name was Haven? Haven Monahan? A name that belongs to no UVA student ever? Why has the name changed since then?”

Jackie wrote back: “His last name was Monahan and he called himself Haven. His first name was John or Jake or something. And he was there that night but he was a bystander. He wasn’t involved. Not really.”

I never had noticed until now that the real first name of “Haven Monahan” was “John or Jake or something”. I am curious why Jackie Coakley muddled her story by making “Haven” merely a nickname for a Monahan whose real name is John.

In previous comments in this blog, I pointed out that a Monahan family surely was known to Coakley from Stafford, Virginia, where she grew up and participated in a swimming club.

Coakley become certified to work as a lifeguard while she attended Mountain View High School in Stafford, Virginia, in 2012. The best opportunity for Stafford high-school students to train as swimmers was to join an organization called YMCA Stingrays Swimming, which trains at the Goolrick Hall swimming pool at Mary Washington University in Fredericksburg, Virginia, about ten miles south of Stafford.

(I myself lived in Fredericksburg and then in Stafford during 1992-2000, and so I took a special interest in Coakley’s Stafford-Fredericksburg connection.)

The Stingrays star female swimmer around the year 2012 was Bailie Monahan of Colonial Forge High School in Stafford. For example, Monahan still holds the team records for the following races

* 100-meter butterfly

* 200-meter butterfly

* 400-meter intermediate medley

* 200-meter medley relay race

* 50-meter freestyle

Bailie Monahan was not only a superb athlete but also a superb student. She was awarded the title of USA Swimming Scholastic All-American in 2011 and 2012

Bailie Monahan is the daughter of Daniel Monahan, a US Marine Corp colonel, and has two younger brothers, Cullen and Nolan, who also are star athletes and competitive swimmers. However, both Cullen and Nolan Monahan are significantly younger than Jackie Coakley.

In Coakley’s yarn, she met John (aka Haven) Monahan while both of them were working as lifeguards at the University of Virginia’s swimming pool.

As far as I know, that Stafford Monahan family does not include any member named Haven or John, but Coakley’s own father is named John.

I speculate that Jackie Coakley enjoyed a fantasy of marrying into Stafford’s Monahan family. Since that family lacked a son whose age was appropriate for her, she imagined that the family had a somewhat older son (age appropriate for her) who went by the name “Haven”, but whose real name was “John”. Since she fantasized about marrying this imaginary “Haven Monahan”, she gave him the birth name “John”, which is the name of her own father, who perhaps symbolized a husband in her mind.

Perhaps there are some Freudian aspects of Coakleys fantasy about marrying into the Stafford Monahan family.

Another possibility is that John is the name of Coakley’s high-school classmate who appears in the photograph of “John (Haven) Monahan” that she showed to her university friends.

A name Jackie provided to the three friends of the student she was going to date did not match anyone at U-Va., and a photograph of the student the friends saw was actually of a man who was Jackie’s high school classmate and attended a different school in a different state. That man, reached by The Post, confirmed that the photos were of him but said he barely knew Jackie and had not been to Charlottesville in at least six years.

In other words, perhaps that guy in the photograph that Coakley showed to her friends at the University of Virginia is named “John or Jake or something.”

* An important element of modern journalism is to turn interesting, funny stories that contradict the narrative into dull, boring stories that are ignored after the first paragraph.

I’m betting the majority of the hoax hate crime stories are pretty hilarious in the hands of a competent writer.

* I believe that a degree of lying comes naturally to women. Consider: Makeup, plastic surgery, padded clothing of one kind or another, and behaviors calculated to make them appear vulnerable and in need of special protections, special mentoring and counseling, and affirmative action benefits. I call these “estrual displays and behaviors”. They are part of the mating game, pervasive in the human experience, and usually very effective and successful. In short, women have natural dispositions to project lives of illusion for calculated gain. Jackie Coakley and Sabrina Rubin are only doing what comes naturally to them.

* For all you guys out there, watch out. There is a bit of Jackie Coakley in all of them. They can turn on the tears for damn near anything.

There is a reason that Jewish law (halacha) and Muslim law (sharia) profoundly mistrust females, particularly in matters of sex and truthtelling.

* Jackie very likely went on a heavy-duty regimen of antidepressant and anti-anxiety medication after her lies were exposed, which would explain the drastic weight gain.

Shapiro’s restraint and lack of sensationalism in reporting the story is admirable to me. One could argue that he and his editors intentionally tried to subdue various details to mute the craziness, but I feel that they respected their readers’ intelligence enough to know that the facts spoke for themselves. The story is so outrageous from all angles (and Jackie’s lies are the gift that keep on giving, even a year later) that if it were a movie, film critics would give it low ratings for lacking nuance and credibility.

I discovered Steve’s writing through Richard Bradley’s blog, having not heard of him before. At one point in the comment section, he alluded to being a controversial writer, so I looked him up. One of my favorite discoveries of the past year.

It’s curious that Bradley slowly abandoned his blog after his involvement with exposing the Rolling Stone article. I would think it’s a journalist’s dream to have a central role in uncovering a major fraud surrounding a hot national topic, but he completely walked away from it.

* This girl created tremendous disruption. A U Va. dean came within inches of having her career destroyed. A fraternity had its windows broken and was forced to close. The entire reputation of a major university, indeed of all young white men was besmirched. And so far Jackie has paid NO price at all. She was not indicted for any crime, she was not expelled for honor code violations, she has not been named in any civil suits, she has not even had her love life damaged. She has never even apologized. Her identity as a self proclaimed “victim” has magically shielded her up until this very minute (the WaPo STILL won’t print her name) even though it is abundantly clear that she is not a victim at all but a perpetrator of a fraud (while on the flip side, white males are automatically presumed to be guilty without any evidence at all – if the left didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all.) Do you have any doubt that if Haven Monahan had really existed that he would not have been allowed to remain enrolled as a student at UVa?

In our system, people who have committed major offenses (and she has) are allowed to “get on with their life” only after they have paid their debt to society. This manipulative woman (she is no poor girl) hasn’t paid squat. My only hope is that people like Jackie tend to come to no good end on their own.

And of course, Steve was not bringing this up spontaneously – he was responding to a recent WaPo story which is turn was triggered by the information that has been revealed in connection with the pending lawsuits. So it was entirely newsworthy and appropriate.

Joseph & The Egyptians

From the Chayenu on Torah portion Vayigash: “The last section of the parashah describes how Joseph prepared Egypt and its populace for the eventual enslavement of the Jewish people. This servitude had been foretold to Abraham in the ‘Covenant between the Halves,’ in which G-d informed Abraham that “your descendants will be foreigners in land that is not theirs, and the people will enslave them and oppress them.’ In order to alleviate their future suffering as much as possible, Joseph took advantage of the fact that only his storehouses of grain had survived the years of famine to amass first all the capital in Egypt and then to ‘purchase’ its citizenry as slaves. He then had the Eygptians circumcised and resettled them throughout Egypt. By so doing, Joseph ensured that future generations of Egyptians could never taunt their Jewish contemporaries for being refugees, slaves, or circumcised, since they themselves were the same (or children of the same). Once these goals had been achieved, there was no more technical need for the famine to continue…”

I wonder if the Egyptians resented Joseph and the Jews for enslaving them, for circumcising them, and for resettling them?

I wonder if Joseph realized that enslaving, circumcising and displacing the Egyptians might have negative consequences for Jews? It’s not like you can just do anything to the goyim and they won’t react with anger.

The Inconvenience of Rapey Refugees

Rod Dreher writes:

Well, well, well: Deutsche Welle reports something ‘politically awkward’:

City authorities identified some suspects in the Cologne New Year’s Eve attacks as asylum seekers from Syria, detaining or questioning some of them, according to reports by local newspaper “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” and national daily “Die Welt,” which published an online preview of investigations by its “Welt am Sonntag” Sunday paper.

According to the newspapers’ reports, citing officers on duty on New Year’s Eve, officials checked the IDs of at least 100 people present at Cologne’s central station on December 31 after their behavior became conspicuous. Seventy-one people were identified, 11 people were remanded into custody and 32 criminal complaints were registered, according to the Welt am Sonntag (WamS) report.

“There were, quite to the contrary of what was said publicly, identity checks on numerous people,” the WamS quoted an unnamed officer as saying. “Most of them were recently-arrived asylum seekers.”

The first internal police report on the event – a so-called “wichtige Ereignis Meldung” (“important event announcement”) – spoke of a crowd mainly of “North African and Arab” origin. According to the Kölner Stadt-anzeiger, the officer leading the team at the station wanted the report to include mention of the Syrians and asylum seekers, but the senior officer writing the “WE-Meldung” decided not to, saying it would be “politically awkward.”

It is still unclear whether the same persons were involved in the assaults.

More:

WamS also received information contradicting another official statement by the city police, which said the main intention of the men in Cologne was to steal from passengers and that assault was secondary. However, “what actually happened was the exact opposite,” a police officer said on condition of anonymity.

“For the mostly Arabic offenders, sexual assault was the priority, or, to express it from their point of view, their sexual amusement was thepriority. A group of men would encircle a female victim, close the loop, and then start groping the woman,” WamS quoted the officer as saying.

The deputy chief of the trade union for police employees (the GdP), Ernst Walter, suggested that the Cologne police’s mishandling of the case could cost city police chief Wolfgang Albers his job: “I’m asking myself this,” Walter said. “How could the police publish a message on January 1, saying that New Year’s celebrations had been peaceful?”

So the authorities lied because the truth was “politically awkward.” And not just the authorities. Maajid Nawaz writes:

Though this all occurred on New Year’s Eve, the absolute scandal is that we only found out about it five days later. Amid accusations that it deliberately covered the incident up in order not to spark panic, the public broadcaster ZDF was forced to issue an apology for failing to include the assaults in its main evening news broadcast. It appears that, as the authorities and the media were choosing between stirring up racial tension and these women’s rights, we were faced with a conspiracy of silence.

Eventually, this was bound to happen. Recent mass migration patterns across Europe have meant that misogyny has finally come head to head with anti-racism, multiculturalism is facing off against feminism, and progressive values are wrestling with cultural tolerance.

Yes, it is racist to suspect that all brown men who look like me are rapists. It is bigoted to presume that all Muslim men who share my faith advocate religiously justified rape. It is xenophobic to assume that all male refugees are sexual predators awaiting their chance to rape. But let me be absolutely clear: What will feed this racism, bigotry, and xenophobia even more is deliberately failing to report the facts as they stand. Doing so only encourages the populist right’s rallying cry against “the establishment.”

If liberals do not address such issues swiftly, with complete candor and courage, the far-right and anti-Muslim populist groups will get there first. They have been doing so for a while now.

This is how it happens, though, in Europe, in America, everywhere: mainstream parties, institutions, and figures cannot bring themselves to deal with difficult truths, so they ignore them and dismiss people who pay attention to these things as racist, or otherwise bigoted. But the contradiction between observable reality and the Official Story may finally cause things to snap.

This, reported by the BBC, via Steve Sailer, only heightens the contradictions:

Ralf Jaeger, interior minister for North Rhine-Westphalia, said police had to “adjust” to the fact that groups of men had attacked women en masse.

Three suspects had been identified, he said, but no arrests had been made.

Scores of women say they were robbed or sexually assaulted by men, reportedly of Arab or North African appearance.

Mr Jaeger also warned that anti-immigrant groups were trying to use the attacks to stir up hatred against refugees.

“What happens on the right-wing platforms and in chatrooms is at least as awful as the acts of those assaulting the women,” he said. “This is poisoning the climate of our society.”

Right. Noticing what happened and drawing the “wrong” conclusions about it is “at least as awful” as actual rape and sexual assault. If Ralf Jaeger and the local authorities have any credibility at all with the German people, it is a miracle.

Writing at The Grauniad, Gaby Hinsliff bravely counsels her fellow liberals not to be afraid to ask questions about the sexual assaults, as long as the answer is always, “More immigration.” And:

Liberals shouldn’t be afraid to ask hard questions. Young German women thankfully enjoy historically unprecedented economic and sexual freedom, with their expensive smartphones and their right to celebrate New Year’s Eve however they want. The same isn’t always true of young male migrants exchanging life under repressive regimes, where they may at least have enjoyed superiority over women, for scraping by at the bottom of Europe’s social and economic food chain. It is not madness to ask if this has anything to do with attacks that render confident, seemingly lucky young women humiliated and powerless. But even if it does, the answer wouldn’t be to halt immigration – even if that were possible, which it isn’t regardless of whether Britain leaves the EU – just in case a few immigrants are sexually aggressive, any more than the answer to Savile is to keep all men away from children.

Think about what you just read: a liberal woman columnist at the left-wing Establishment newspaper in the UK has just said that it is “not madness” to see the Arab immigrant rapists as victims of political oppression at home and economic oppression in Europe. Anything — anything — to protect the Narrative. European liberals would do much better to pay attention to their Maajid Nawazes than their Gaby Hinsliffs and Ralf Jaegers. But they won’t.

UPDATE: Chancellor Merkel says the assaults will have far-reaching consequences. Chancellor Merkel is also refusing to put a cap on the number of refugees Germany will take in this year. As long as the right hand doesn’t notice what the left hand is doing, hey, no problem!

Haven Monahan Back in the News

Steve Sailer writes:

Nicole Eramo patiently listened to Jackie’s story about Haven Monahan several times and rightly figured out it wasn’t legit, for which she was much denounced as a facilitator of campus rape culture from Nov. 19th to December 1st, 2014.

By the way, a search through the New York Times archives reveals that the newspaper finally published the name “Haven Monahan” in late March 2015, more than 4 months after CNN used it.

It’s revealing that Jackie catfishing Haven Monahan into digital pseudo-existence didn’t start out as a feminist thing, but instead was just about the girliest ploy imaginable, intended to make a boy she liked jealous. Her conversion into a feminist icon as star victim of white male patriarchy only happened gradually as she figured out that’s what our culture wants.

It’s interesting to contrast the American media’s immensely credulous response in November 2014 to Sabrina Rubin Erdely’s absurd write-up of Jackie’s ridiculous story to the Germany media’s attempt to hush up the New Year’s Eve goings-on in Cologne during the first few days of January.

Who? Whom?

Law Enforcement Officials, Medical Professionals: There’s Something Seriously Wrong With Hillary Clinton’s Health

From Breitbart: Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s disappearance from the debate stage last month left people speculating that the former First Lady took a long bathroom break, but now a law-enforcement source with inside connections is alleging that Clinton was missing from the stage due to health issues stemming from a previous brain injury.

These long-lasting symptoms stemming from a concussion and blood clot, according to a neurologist, suggest Clinton is suffering from post-concussion syndrome, which can severely impact her cognitive abilities.

All that said, however, Clinton’s campaign maintained to Breitbart News that she is in good health and can serve as President of the United States.

“Strong source just told me something I suspected. Hillary’s debate ‘bathroom break’ wasn’t that, but flare up of problems from brain injury,” wrote John Cardillo on Twitter.

Cardillo, who previously worked as an officer who provided VIP security details for the New York Police Department (NYPD), told Breitbart News that he knows of two additional sources who have commented about Clinton’s health problems, which have even impacted her ability to walk to her car after delivering a speech.

“I got this from both a [federal agent] … and I also got it from a New York [NYPD] guy who worked security at a Hillary event in New York City,” Cardillo told Breitbart News, adding:

These are two people that aren’t just personal friends. I worked with one and then post law-enforcement worked with another on some related things. So, these aren’t anonymous people. These are good friends. Both of them told me the same thing, that after her speeches, whether she did a talk or a policy speech, she had to sit behind – she would come off the podium backstage – and have to sit and rest before making it back to the car because she was so fatigued, dizzy and disoriented.

Cardillo said these two security officials don’t know each other and do not live in the same state, but “their stories were almost identical.”

One of the men told him that Clinton was “very pale, kind of disoriented. He said she looked like she was about to faint. She was very pale, almost sweaty.”

Cardillo said one of the incidents occurred while she was Secretary of State. The event worked by the NYPD official was roughly a year ago.

Veteran Republican strategist Roger Stone, who previously worked with GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, told Breitbart News that he has also heard about Clinton’s long-term health problems.

“A number of New York Democrats, very prominent, well-known, wealthy New York Democrats, told me last year that Hillary had very significant health issues and that they were surprised that she was running in view of her health problems and her lack of stamina,” Stone told Breitbart News. “So far, she’s run a very controlled campaign,”

“I don’t think she has the physical stamina to be president,” he stated. “I have no doubt that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79%
won’t call her on it, but Trump certainly would.”

Will Trump Be The King Or The Patsy?

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* Trump is going to be the fall guy. The house of cards is about to collapse and who better to take the blame than the guy voted into office by old racist white men. This is a role that Trump was handpicked to play. Establishment and media pretend to be overwhelmed by Trump so that when the bottom falls out and the baby boomers don’t get their social security/medicaid/private pension, they get to say “I told you so” and look like the responsible adults they never were. They get to blame democracy and claim voters are too stupid to know what’s good for them. Especially racist white voters. It’s all a matter of who gets left holding the bag, taking the blame. We are beyond reform. There is no set of policies that is going to un-eff this situation. Let the establishment and democratic socialism take the fall. Not racist old white men who voted for Trump.

* I support Trump mainly for the things he says. He wants to fight the media and stand up to the media. He has already done that and continues to do that. No matter what he really thinks or believes or will do in the future, he has already provided great value.

He has spoken of minorities and immigrants in a way, and with a phrasing that disrespects the unspoken codes and taboos set down by the media for speaking about minorities and immigrants. And he don’t care. That has great value.

Trump is a propaganda weapon for the majority. His words have great value for the white working class majority in america. It doesn’t really matter whether he believes what he says. He may be hustling in the sense that he does not believe what he says. But he says these things. And those things he is saying have great value in this propaganda-based society we live in.

* People who have nothing to lose generally don’t need to worry much about getting hustled. Describe to me the scenario in which supporting Trump hurts me. Don’t describe the scenario in which supporting Trump turns out to be pointless; I can imagine that. But even then, I find Trump amusing and would feel that I got my money’s worth from the entertainment value alone. No, you will need to convince me that supporting Trump could actually make things worse. Sadly, that doesn’t seem possible at this point.

* If Trump wins the nomination he’ll beat Hillary like a red-headed stepchild in the general. She is unbelievably weak and vulnerable on so many fronts, and her advantages (political machine, donors, and media support) can be turned into liabilities by Trump’s antifragile campaign (i.e., media and other establishment attacks actually make Trump stronger by reinforcing his status as the anti-establishment, anti-status-quo candidate that Americans overwhelmingly crave).

Trump, the only candidate not controlled by donors, is not limited to the conventional topics and avenues of attack. He’s free to attack Hillary from the left as well as the right, and her record of incompetence and extreme corruption will give him a near unlimited supply of ammo, which he’s proved to be adept at using to pigeonhole and crush well-heeled establishment opponents.

Jeb Bush is actually a stronger opponent than Hillary, given their respective records and the fact that Hillary is one of the few people on Earth that make Jeb look charismatic and likeable. And look at how easily Trump put Jeb in a low-energy box and wiped the floor with him, despite Bush’s connections, respectable record, and massive war chest.

Look for Trump to peel off a huge amount of the Dems’ white working class base, and to capture record numbers of blacks for a Republican. He’ll also win a higher share of the single female vote than any other Republican could hope for due to his genuine alpha male personality.

Lastly, Hillary is an uninspiring candidate, so a lot of minority and millennial voters who drank the Obama Kool Aid will stay home, while Trump will galvanize conservative and independent voters who had lost faith in the system and didn’t show up for Romney or McCain (I know a lot of people like this, and I am one myself). The enthusiasm and dedication of Trump supporters continues to be underestimated.

* Anyone have a take on how Trump’s trying to raise the birther issue with regard to Cruz is working out?

My sense is that it is a mistake: brings back memories of Trump’s birther thing with Obama, which did not work out that well.

On the other hand, every time in the last six months that I thought Trump was blowing it, he pulled it off.

* I have to imagine that many religious conservatives secretly welcome a Trump Presidency because it will allow them to get out of the trap they are in. Abortion is not just a political loser but it has smothered and held hostage all the other religious and morally conservative issues that they hold dear. Like a revanchist pipe dream, they have held on so tightly for so long now that there is no other way out.

* If the media gave great attention to the extent of black criminality in this country, and the viciousness of black-on-white crime, I’m sure they would find a large audience for it. Crimes like the Wichita massacre, the Knoxville horror, the Yahweh cult killings, and the Zebra murders are tailor-made for tabloid TV, and yet they’re swept under the rug. So it’s about the agenda, not about attracting viewers.

* Rick Santorum has a really sound immigration plan, which he seems to understand even better than Trump does his, and what good did it do him? The messenger counts at least as much as the message.

* But have you noticed that the Overton Window is also getting pushed wider on the left side as well? Clinton has publicly purged the term “illegal alien” from her vocabulary (not that she was using it anyway) and has promised to go beyond Obama in executive orders to amnesty illegal immigrants. BLM rhetoric is now a staple on the Democratic side. And the protestors, even though they’re a miserable little bunch, keep winning every confrontation on campus.

* I doubt anyone supporting Donald now thinks he’s a saint. We all know his flaws. But a commenter here put it best: “He’s an asshole, but he’s my asshole.”

Warren Harding was no great shakes as a man– basically a Clinton-with-consent– but by signing an immigration bill within days of his inauguration he served his country as well as any president ever has. Trump could do the same. Like Reagan, he scares all the right people, and has the same “unelectability” that worked so well for Reagan, Nixon, and Johnson.

He won’t make America great again, but he just might allow us to.

Sessions is kind of a clean version of Newt Gingrich. His function is to draw up policy and see it enacted. Newt was a stellar strategist but a most unappealing front man, which is why he could capture the House but then waste the opportunity. Jeff is much more palatable, but doesn’t see his place at the front of the movement. Give him credit for that, at least.

* It wouldn’t surprise me if Steve Sailer has an higher IQ than most people would expect. I wouldn’t guarantee it, but his output & life pattern has many of the fingerprints of such a scenario. I mean, he’s figured out how to live a singularly unusual, interesting/stimulating, and comfortable life far outside the bounds of social expectations basically doing what the f**K he likes while implicitly/explicitly shooting the bird to the dead weight of social expectations, PC, respectability, etc. That is not an easy problem to solve, lots harder than some math proof.

Though he isn’t boastful about it, he obviously has intimates/associates who are recognized as world class brainwaves or achievers. Dollars to doughnuts, more than one of them has told him, or at least thinks, that he is one of the smartest people they’ve ever met.

* The media tells us Trump is the weakest potential GOP nominee, precisely because he is the strongest. There are polls that show him losing to Hillary, and ones that show him beating her. The media only pays attention to the former. But all those polls are largely irrelevant; Trump is going to do the work of defeating Hillary after he’s secured the nomination. He’s barely started on her, and she’ll be lucky to win as many electoral votes as Dukakis got in 1988.

How To Deal With The Islamic Invasion

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* The US government seemed to have little problem drafting, training, clothing, feeding, arming, transporting, supplying and medically treating ~15 million men during World War 2. Funny how the government is perfectly capable of such massive feets when it needs to be.

If the government wants to kick them out it is perfectly capable of doing so.

* Conscription is a bad idea if you are giving citizenship to Islamic invaders and then conscripting (and training them up to 1rst-world military standards). It would be smarter to keep an all-volunteer force and encourage European-heritage men to step up to the plate.

* Moving people is easy. It’s a matter of will. They say you can’t rapidly shift millions of people to another country. Yet that’s just what’s been happening for the last year, but in the wrong direction.

* The police chief of Cologne has been driven out. The real reason of course is not his failure to prevent the attacks. That is Merkel’s fault. The real reason is the un-PC comments he made later.

MORE COMMENTS:

* Mass rapes in the aftermath of conquest are certainly an expression of power. Is that what is happening in Sweden and Germany right now? Are the migrants/refugees/invaders showing their new dominance by taking the conquered people’s women? I think that this may be beyond ordinary criminality.

* I also think the lack of a heavy physical response by the locals probably confirms to them they are indeed conquerors. One would think that local German men would have gathered and pounded a few of these guys into ground. By not doing so they are probably going to invite more such attacks.

A couple years ago some Mexican sailors tried to harass some Polish women on a Baltic beach. The local Poles did not take it lying down. This should have been the response in Germany.

* Salon is ignoring this story completely. Instead they published an essay about how women scientists are “forced to endure” a culture of sexual harassment and another one about the health benefits of drinking urine.

* Western men (and those in other developed nations) have been emasculated by their shrill feminist teachers and co-citizens. This has ironical left these same women exposed to assaults and harassment by more aggressive and unashamedly masculine foreigners.

* If rape is mainly about power, it is hard to explain why people tend to stick so rigidly to victims that match their sexual preference. I mean why do hetero men, even extremely violent criminals, so rarely rape people of the same sex out of revenge or whatever. It does happen, but not that much. And it would be particularly humiliating. Instead, they just beat you or torture you or cut off a limb or something. It’s like people tend to only use rape when they want to humiliate or overpower people they are already sexually attracted to.

* Lack of a heavy physical response by the locals probably indicates the cultural emasculation of German men by cradle to grave ‘liberal’ indoctrination.
